Guarantor of the study program: prof. Ing. Roman Bulánek, Ph.D.
Graduates from the Physical Chemistry doctoral degree programme are fully qualified in physical chemistry, mainly in solid surface chemistry, adsorption and catalysis, material research, and chemical kinetics. Given that physical chemistry forms the theoretical basis of all chemical science disciplines with a strong interdisciplinary overlap and that students are encouraged to adopt the ability to analyse, find and answer questions to submitted problems during their studies, graduates are also able to easily adapt to solve problems relating to other fields or interdisciplinary issues.
Graduates from the Physical Chemistry doctoral degree programme are independent workers capable of working with modern information technology, critically processing information from professional databases, performing teamwork, passing on experience, critically assessing the results of scientific work and discussing them in the mother tongue and English in both written and oral form. Job opportunities of Physical Chemistry graduates are in all forms of basic and applied research in universities and public and private scientific institutes, but also in all fields and activities where profound knowledge of physical and chemical methods is required, specifically in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry, development and commercial laboratories, environmental protection, etc.
